Pteridines, 1998 Cardiac myocytes are known to express the high-capacity inducible isoform of nitric oxide (NO) synthase (iNOS). Since tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) is an essential cofactor for NO formation, we investigated whether BH4 synthesis is required for cytokine ...

Caveolae and the cardiac myocyte [PDF]
Current Opinion in Physiology, 2018 Caveolae, invaginated lipid rafts, orchestrate signalling in the cardiac myocyte. Here we highlight advances in the field which are relevant to the role of caveolae in these cells. Recent analysis of the molecular organisation and structure of the coat complex, which lines the internal surface of caveolae, suggest a stable inner caveolin layer covered ...

Beating the odds: programming proliferation in the mammalian heart
Genome Medicine, 2018 Editorial summary The heart is one of the least regenerative organs in the human body; adult cardiac myocytes divide at extremely low frequency. Therefore, meaningful induction of cardiac regeneration requires in-depth understanding of myocyte cell-cycle

Redox signaling in cardiac myocytes
Free Radical Biology and Medicine, 2011 The heart has complex mechanisms that facilitate the maintenance of an oxygen supply-demand balance necessary for its contractile function in response to physiological fluctuations in workload as well as in response to chronic stresses such as hypoxia, ischemia, and overload.

Cardiac Myocyte Exosome Isolation [PDF]
, 2016 Exosomes are cell-derived small extracellular membrane vesicles (50-100 nm in diameter) actively secreted by a number of healthy and diseased cell types. Exosomes can mediate cellular, tissue, and organ level micro communication under normal and pathological conditions by shuttling proteins, mRNA, and microRNAs.

Uptake and metabolism of the novel peptide angiotensin-(1-12) by neonatal cardiac myocytes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Angiotensin-(1-12) [Ang-(1-12)] functions as an endogenous substrate for the productions of Ang II and Ang-(1-7) by a non-renin dependent mechanism. This study evaluated whether Ang-(1-12) is incorporated by neonatal cardiac myocytes and the enzymatic ...

PET Imaging of Cardiac Inflammation in Viral Myocarditis Using a DPP4‐Targeted Probe
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study describes a DPP4‐targeted PET probe for imaging myocardial inflammation by selectively targeting activated immune cells. Derived from the clinically approved small‐molecule inhibitor linagliptin, the probe demonstrates favorable biodistribution with specific cardiac uptake in myocarditis.

Mechano‐chemo‐transduction in cardiac myocytes [PDF]
The Journal of Physiology, 2017 AbstractThe heart has the ability to adjust to changing mechanical loads. The Frank–Starling law and the Anrep effect describe exquisite intrinsic mechanisms the heart has for autoregulating the force of contraction to maintain cardiac output under changes of preload and afterload.

G3BP1 Succinylation at K413 is Critical for Cardiac Function by Modulating PI3K‐AKT‐mTOR Signal Axis
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Schematic illustrating the impact of G3BP1 succinylation at K413 on cardiac function. In the healthy human heart, G3BP1 succinylation maintains homeostatic mTOR signaling. In patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and heart failure (HF), G3BP1 de‐succinylation induces RagA expression and disrupts the binding of the TSC1/2 complex, leading to the ...
